The experience

The ride itself runs about two hours on the 34km off-road track, broken up with one or two stops for water and photos so you can catch your breath. Before you head out, you get a 10-minute safety briefing and gear check, then a 10-minute practice run on the banana plantation track to dial in your technique. The track is built for riders who know how to handle an ATV or buggy, not beginners learning the basics.

After you finish riding, there's 40 minutes to cool down with soft drinks and fresh fruit, then a choice of chicken, vegetarian or beef burgers with fries and salad. The day wraps with stops at Goddess Durga Temple and Shiva Temple to see how Hindu prayer happens in Pattaya, plus entry to Khao Chi Chan and the Big Buddha viewpoint. An English-speaking guide handles the temple stops and the cultural context. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, with the full day running from early morning (9–9:30am pickup, back by 1:30–2pm) or afternoon (1:30–2pm pickup, back by 6–6:30pm).

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24h before the start.

Can I ride the ATV if I've never done it before?

The 34km track is built for experienced riders, so you need to know how to handle an ATV or buggy already. A 10-minute practice run on the banana plantation happens before the main ride, but it is not a beginner course. If you are new to ATVing, ask the operator about other options.

What's the difference between the ATV and the buggy options?

You can ride a 1500cc ATV solo, drive a 2-seater buggy yourself, or ride as a passenger in either a 2-seater or 4-seater buggy. The ATV and buggies both tackle the same 34km track. The choice is whether you operate the vehicle or ride along.

How much of the day is actually riding versus stops and meals?

The ride itself is about two hours on the track, with one or two breaks built in for water and photos. Add 10 minutes for safety briefing and practice, 40 minutes for lunch and drinks after, and temple stops on the way back. Total time from hotel pickup to drop-off is roughly 3.5 to 4 hours for the morning trip and 3.5 to 4 hours for the afternoon trip.

What do I see at the temples, and how long do we spend there?

You visit Goddess Durga Temple and Shiva Temple to see how Hindu prayer and worship happen in Pattaya, plus entry to Khao Chi Chan and the Big Buddha viewpoint. The guide explains the history and cultural role of these sites. The temple portion is part of the half-day structure, not a separate long detour.

What time should I book if I want to ride in the morning?

Morning departures run from 10am to 1pm, with hotel pickup between 9 and 9:30am and drop-off around 1:30 to 2pm. Afternoon trips run 2:30pm to 5:30pm, with pickup from 1:30 to 2pm and drop-off around 6 to 6:30pm.
